I’ve always thought that if there’s any truth to the legend of Atlantis it’s probably related to this event. At least the location fits Plato’s description and there’s clear evidence the now-inundated land was populated. There had been free movement across what is now the English Channel for thousands of years prior to the Big Melt.

I personally think the Atlantis legend is related to the island of Santorini

Thanks SC for posting this!

Blam's ancestors and mine made the trek about 23,787 years ago. 2 little boys shooting slingshots at sabretoothed squirrels.

The location that fits Plato’s description no longer exists, y’know, because as he noted, it was lost to the sea “in a single dreadful day and single dreadful night”, never to be seen again. But I’d be pleasantly surprised if something major (like a submerged town) were found pretty much anywhere in the world. The former banks of the former estuaries would be the best places to start searching, IMHO.
